Langdon's at Home, And Far, Far From It By Pete Williams Special to The Washington Post Monday, March 29, 1999; Page D9 In other words, it's about as far removed from Langdon's native Alaska as possible. Growing up in an area that has produced few college, let alone professional, basketball players, Langdon often practiced the game wearing boots and gloves and dribbling on snow. "But it was good practice," Langdon said today, "because it gave you a better feel for the ball." He's one victory from becoming the first Alaska native to play on a national championship team, the latest in a long list of honors that includes consensus second-team all-American status and all-Atlantic Coast Conference recognition. A four-year starter at shooting guard for Coach Mike Krzyzewski, he is projected as a first-round pick in the NBA draft in June. But that isn't nearly all of what makes Langdon unusual. The product of a mixed-race marriage, Langdon spent time growing up visiting remote Alaskan fishing villages with his father, Steve, who is Caucasian and a college professor with expertise in Alaska native culture. His mother, Gladys, a social worker, is African American. Trajan received his name from that of a Roman emperor who ended the persecution of Christians.
